Hi there, can anyone help? I am in the process of bringing a Trapper 501 back up to scratch or somewhere near! My boat appears to have had a new mast & sails sometime prior to my purchase & whilst both mast & sails are in excellent condition, I would like to reassure myself that they are in fact the correct measurements & configuration for the boat. When I bought her I had to remove the mast & fabricate a fibreglass wedge plate to fit between the base of the mast & the mast deckplate, as there was a gap of approx 4-5mm at the front edge of the mast when rigging was correctly tensioned, all the weight of the mast & pressure of the rigging was being loaded on the back edge of the mast, this has started me pondering if the mast & sail sizes are correct. If anyone can advise the original spec, sail sizes & mast height etc, I would be most grateful.
Thanking you in anticipation, kind regards,

Andrew
